The prison he calls homeHis mind was an abyss
Of emotions
And endless questions
Of the world around him
He wasn't much of a speaker
But he was definitely a thinker
His mind was a safe place
Where he could speak freely
Without being harmed
He hated the outside world
He was scared if he stepped outside
He was afraid the racists might strike
So instead he...

One Of These DaysOne of These Days by FFH
Lyrics
One of these days I'm gonna fly
Over the mountain
One of these days I'm gonna ride
On the silver lining
One of these days I'm gonna witness
All I've been missing
One of these days
One of these days I'm gonna do
All the things that I've never done
I'm gonna finish all the races
That I've run but...

Throughout All Time
dew colors the dawn in halos,
revealing the angel’s song
who plays on and on and on –
reverberating across the horizon,
stilling the murmurs of morn’
singing to the light, a soft chorus
aching to be stolen by the heart
who knows, on angel’s wings
come gentling laughter so sweet
ever after will not be complete,
without this song who breathes…
glory into the skies,...

HomeAs I stand on the rocky shore of the bay
I look over to the distant bank
Not to look back in want
But to look back in remembrance
Of what I had left behind
To remind myself
of how far God has brought me.
I turn to look toward the future
With great expectations
I move with new hope and...

Emerald Isle's Embrace
Green hills softly call,
Ancient whispers on the breeze,
Hearts find gentle peace.
Laughter brightens every soul,
Home's true spirit takes its hold.

YardsWhile I was at work my yards were busy
a nameless, white flower plucked
from my front garden
lay on the brick shelf by the gate
wrapped in cream silk
its stem inserted
into a (dry) plastic flower tube
A gift set down in forgetfulness
or just discarded
While out the back a soft touch indoor football
orange against the fake grass
lost and over wall...

Britannia Rule
As an Englishman's home
is his castle,
I abide in my own abode
part and parcel,
but as I'm always being told,
by the trouble and strife
(Cockney for 'wife'),
how to behave
in my own house,
whenever the rules I waive,
I must ask, I have to say,
"Why am I not Lord
of all that which I survey?"

Letting GoThe feeling of letting go...
Letting go of what became the new norm
Letting go of my recent familiarities
Letting go of work which I live for at the moment
Letting go of control of what I seem to feel I have under control
Letting go of that comforting feeling of friends being in the surrounds...
Then I come to the...

Walk HomeWalk Home
In urban life, something is lost
Civilization is a plasticized life
Fashionable term of blindness
Oh, this is a wrong assessment!
We live in a contemporary world!
See lies as truth, and don’t think!
This is the key to modern life!
Drugged and deceived masses
By economic psychology, reined!
They enjoy this life
I am not domesticated
I am not urbanized
Live in nature
Without mass
And walk...

Bones Remain AliveLoitering around at the expense
of my parents back,
I too wish to be at the resemblance
of hardworking thumbs,
those same fingers that sewed
the futile grounds back home,
my mother’s yuca farm,
my father's dying crops,
dance taking their final
waltz with the tumble-
weeds in direction
where my ancestors
sleep while their bones
continue...

The House
The white shades pulled to half mast,
like sleepy eyes…
Peeking
Rain from the gutters rushing fast,
Seems to be…
Weeping
Doors locked, none shall pass,
All your secrets…
Keeping
A revelation at last,
buried bones that were…
Sleeping
A light flickers on, a gasp,
Starts your heart…
Beating
The souls you've amassed,
ghosts through rooms…
Creeping

OUT OF THE BRAINLoves, kick out all the bad in your brain, don’t let other take up space in your brain.
Tell them you have no place, for their games.
They pretend to care, but only want to cause you fear.
They play mind games, to try to control you, and make you have fear.
Life is like...

Christmas in July in Israel is nigh
My list of wishes in the Gaza Strip is
For every hostage priceless,
Too many now lifeless
Grieve for Israel’s fallen married
